... it gives me the word 'Music' which is the content of the first node under media:group – media:category. What I actually want to get is the url attribute of media:group/media:player.
It looks like this (there is obviously more than one <<entry> node):

The bits I'm actually interested in are media:group/media:player (the url attribute) and one of the media:group/media:thumbnail url attributes (although Idon't know how to pluck jus one from the 4 that are present).
YouTube feed
I'm trying to list the videos in a client's YouTube page. I got this code elsewhere in this forum:
This lists all the titles, but gives me no results for media:group/media:description. If I change that part to:
... it gives me the word 'Music' which is the content of the first node under media:group – media:category. What I actually want to get is the url attribute of media:group/media:player.
Anyone know how to do this?
Hi. Could you write here how the incoming feed xml fragment looks like?
It looks like this (there is obviously more than one <<entry> node):

Thanks
Well. You just need to write it as:
..bla-bla.. *[local-name()='group']/*[local-name() = 'description'] ..bla-bla..
Thanks (I'd missed the second local-name()= !) – but do you know how I get the attribute of media:player?
The same way. For example:
local-name() just gets the name of an element without the namespace part.
That works, thanks!
Any idea how I'd get just the second of the media:thumbnail nodes?
The second one can be selected with the XPath position() function:
Thanks, extremely helpful!
